Application led May 23, 1916. Serial No. 99,320.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. COLLAMORE,

- a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of Winchester, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Telephone l Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to telephone attachments, and moreespecially to means for supporting the receiver during the use of the telephone.

i The object of my invention is to provide a simple and easily adjustable device whereby the receiver may be held in proximity to the l ear of the luser of the telephone and thereby l permit such user to have the free use of bothv hands for the purpose of making notes, etc.,

' duringthe conversation.

2, and transmitter 3. A split-ring 4:, shown in the present instance as hinged at 5, embraces the standard and is clamped thereto by the win -screw 6, The'ends or vertical shank portions 8 of a wire .loop 7 pass through and tightly fit into two vertical` holes in a lateral extension of said split-ring, so that the loop may readily' be raised or` lowered and maintained iii-the desired posi.- V

tion with 4respect to said ring. vThe wire i loop 7 comprises two downwardlyrcurved portions 9, 10, shaped .to receivefgthe larger and smaller ends respectively of the horn 2, 1

the portion 9 being lower than the portion 10, so that the receiver may be held in a substantially horizontal position.

The device as a whole may be raised or lowered with respect to the telephone by means of the ring 4 and wing-screw 6, the' receiver-supporting loop may as aforesaid be adjusted vertically with respect to the ring,

and preferably said loop is made of flexible material such as wire, so that it may be ad- A justed laterally by slightly bending the saine in order to bring the receiver, when resting therein, to the proper position adjacent to the ear of the user.

It will be understood that various modi# fications may be made in the construction shown and particularly described herein without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I claim:

A device for supporting a telephone re ceiver in proximity) to the ear of the user, comprising in com ination a clampadjustably and removably secured to the standard of the telephone set, said clamp 'havin a lateral extension provided with verticali hold the receiver and terminating in two vertical shank portions, said shank portions bein substantially parallel to .the standard 'and ttin into the holes in said clamp.

In testimony whereof,f'I have hereunto subscribed my name this 22nd da'ygfof May,
